Our group had 14 ranging from 5 to 42. We opted to heat the pool which was nice with the cooler windy nights. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which was amazing! The location and amenities were also perfect for our group. We would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed the house….the layout worked for our crew. We also enjoyed the back porch view of the lagoon & the wild life it presented. Many of our group used the pool as well. The beach is a short walk. All in all this was one our favorites for our annual family trip.
This was our 2nd consecutive stay @ Good Time Charlie’s. The space fits our crew just about right and its location works as well. The great room gives our folks the thing they want most….to hang out with each other. The house has about what your basic needs are in the way of the kitchen…TV’s ….great pool ….and view. We always enjoy it.

Was one of the best houses we have rented. Was perfect for our 14 adults and 3 littles. Plenty of room to all sit in the house and rooms were great to accommodate our crowd. Would enjoy a little bigger pool but it still worked fine for us!!
We had a group of 11 college girlfriends. The house was perfect for our gang. We mainly stayed at the house. We cooked our own food, enjoyed the swimming pool, play games, and had bonfires. At first, I thought I would be disappointed that we weren’t on the beach, but the lagoon side is lovely. It’s peaceful and the sunsets were absolutely gorgeous.

We absolutely loved this house. The location was awesome! We loved having a pool to get into after the beach. The rooms were spacious and there was so much seating in the living room. We loved how big the kitchen is. One of the favorites was the dock and being able to fish off of it. We will be back!
We traveled with our adult children and 3 grandchildren ages 11/2, 2 and 4. We had the best week. The property was beautiful and as pictured! We did choose to heat the pool and were glad we did . Everyone had such a good time! The lagoon was lovely and protected from the 2 windy days we had. Very short walk to the gulf to enjoy the waves! The peer was great for fishing. The kids got a good laugh out of the heron who waited patiently for you to catch a fish! We would definitely return! Highly recommend!
Everything was great except cockroaches in the house and all around the pool, and the dish washer didn’t work. Dishes on the bottom were not clean and we ended up washing them by hand. The house was awesome other wise with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms.

Really enjoyed our stay at Good Time Charlie. The house was clean and seemed fairly new. The kitchen was VERY well stocked! Beds were comfy and the living areas had plenty of seating for all 15 of us. The bay and dock provided beautiful views of the sunset and was a quiet retreat from the beach. The walk to the beach was a little more than I would have liked, but it was still manageable. There was no hard pack on the beach, so hauling a lot of stuff in wagon/carriers is quite difficult once you get to the sand.Would definitely stay here again!

My family had a wonderful experience at Good Time Charlie in Gulf Shores during Thanksgiving week in 2024. The location was near the beach and a fishing pier was within walking distance. We went to grocery stores along with a restaurant in the area. The house was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen included quality cookware and utensils to accommodate the preparation of our meals. The vacation rental management staff was very helpful and timely in response to our questions. We would love to return to Good Time Charlie in the future.

Our whole family was able to get together for a 10 day vacation. There was plenty of room for all. We especially loved the living room area with plenty of seating for all. Every thing we needed was there. No complaints from us. The close proximity to the beach and shopping was very convenient. We launched our boat and had a wonderful time. We would definitely rent this house again. Thank you Good Time Charlie!

The photos don’t do this house justice. We were greeted with an immaculately clean home and a fully functioning air conditioning system did not disappoint. The layout is amazing and full of space! Our family loved that they all had a private bedroom AND private bathroom!!The ground floor has everything you might want. We especially enjoyed the pool, swings and fire pit area. The lagoon gives you a beautiful view of the sunset and we would have loved to fish but forgot our poles. It was a convenient walk to the beach and we utilized a beach wagon to haul our stuff. I only wish we had another week to take advantage of everything this house had to offer.

We were overly impressed with the kitchen stuff! It was very well stocked with items needed and used. Dishwasher wasn’t working fully, but hot soapy water did the job. Dryer wasn’t working, but owners had a repairman fix it on thanksgiving day! All guest were very please with home.
